There is no doubt in my mind that there will be delays in releasing Longhor, possibly till 2007 IMO and by that time we will prob have had SP3 for XP and a host of other Longhornlike techs for XP users. Longhorn will be big, it will just be the same situation all over again. There is going to be a major architectural shift to a unified shader model and none of todays cards support that. And ATI is working with M$ to create a close knit API for graphics programming in WGF 2.0 and that is even more great news. And that is good news for a lot of gaming and 3d graphics folk who use the Windows platform extensively because the immense overhead given the current XP DirectX driver model will not be there. Already DirectX10 or WGF 2.0 is supposed to be integrated into the OS. I am excited in the sense I want to see what Longhorn is caoable of.
